which has been slammed for refusing to refer to Hamas attackers as terrorists during its coverage — has lost 33% of its primetime viewers since the deadly attack on Israel.

The cable news channel — home to anchors Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Joy Reid — saw its total viewer figures plunge 24% for the four days between Oct. 7 and 10, compared to the same period the previous week.

Meanwhile, rival Fox News has gotten a 42% jolt in total viewers, and even ratings-challenged CNN saw a 17% spike as new boss Mark Thompson took the reins this week. Fox handily won in primetime over the four-day period, averaging 2.1 million, according to Nielsen. MSNBC came in second with 960,000 and CNN logged 760,000 viewers.

It’s so bad that even Al Jazeera seems pro-Israel in comparison.

Top CEOS to MSNBC staff:
Change sides and kiss different rear ends for a while. People are angry at our Hamas friends. It hurts our ratings and ad revenue.

Fox News can breath another sigh of ratings relief.

Six weeks ago, the Jesse Watters broadcast was in the low 1 million range.

Tucker Carlson, who got fired from the same time slot, was consistently above 3 million.

Then, after Fox sponsored two GOP debates, and now Gaza vs. Israel, Jesse Watters is over the 2 million mark.

Other Freepers said Carlson refuses to call Hamas or Iran terrorists, so he many be losing viewers too.

Remember, Tucker Carlson was from MSNBC, so he’s one of them.

Meaningless stats. Squeeze one end of the media balloon and the air of lefty BS moves to the other end.

Re: "Carlson losing viewers"

That is certainly possible.

I had no idea Tucker was hostile towards the sovereign rights of Israel.

That has completely shaken my confidence in his political judgment.
